N-412 Piezo Motor Rod Drive
N412T0001
Version: 1.2.1
13
INFORMATION
If the N-412 becomes contaminated with dirt, oil, lubricant or condensation, the dynamic force
and the velocity of the drive will decrease.
If necessary, install the entire system in a housing to protect it against contamination.
Prevent condensation from forming on the N-412. If condensation has formed on the
N-412, let the drive dry before startup.
INFORMATION
When the N-412 is installed in a mechanical system that is to be operated in closed-loop mode,
you need an external position sensor such as a linear encoder (not in the scope of delivery).
Furthermore, the electronics must be able to read out and process the signals of the external
position sensor.
Pay attention to the installation instructions of the manufacturer when installing the
position sensor.
Mount the position sensor as closely as possible to the intended motion.
Observe the input and output signals of the electronics used to operate the N-412.
INFORMATION
Ground loops can occur when the N-412 is grounded via the shield of the connecting cable as
well as a separate protective earth conductor.
If a ground loop occurs, contact our customer service department (p. 19).
For further information on the operating conditions, refer to the “Technical Data” section
(p. 20).
5.2
Installing the Linear Drive onto a Mechanical Mounting and
Connecting it to the Protective Earth Conductor
INFORMATION
The contact of the N-412 to the protective earth conductor is established via the contact of the
mounting nut or thread or clamping shank to a sufficiently conductive mechanical mounting.
The mechanical mounting must be connected to the protective earth conductor.
INFORMATION
Observe the applicable standards for mounting the protective earth conductor.
Requirements
You have read and understood the general notes on installation (p. 12).
The N-412 is
not
connected to the electronics.
